Re: help with x86 assembly

Hi,

You don't want to use xen12load for xen2 since xen2 loads an elf image to
run as kernel in dom0.
The loader is missing the part to load a NetBSD symbol table but that can be
easily added.

gcc already uses %ebx to generate pic code (since xen12load is compiled
with -fpic or -fPIC), you'd need to explicitly load %ebx like in the
original HYPERVISOR_console_write_pic function....
